Nonnil-coherent rings (Q286657)

A commutative ring \(R\) is called a \textit{\(\phi\)-ring} if \(\mathrm{Nil}(R)\) is a divided prime ideal of \(R\). A \(\phi\)-ring is called \textit{nonnil-coherent} if each finitely generated nonnil ideal of \(R\) is finitely presented. The authors study nonnil-coherent rings and characterize them in several ways. In particular, they prove that the following three conditions on a \(\phi\)-ring \(R\) are equivalent: {\parindent=0.6cm\begin{itemize}\item[(1)] \(R\) is nonnil-coherent; \item[(2)] Any direct product of \(\phi\)-flat \(R\)-modules is \(\phi\)-flat; \item[(3)] For any indexing set \(I\), the \(R\)-module \(R^I\) is flat. \end{itemize}} The authors define and study \(\phi\)-coherent rings.
